Issue - meetings

The property will be used as a residential children's home for up to 3 young people.

The Development Manager advised members that the key policy considerations for this application were those outlined previously, relating to LPD 39.

He went on to introduce the report.

He added that the recommendation was to refuse the application as outlined within the report and that based on previous decisions it would be for members of the committee to determine where that over concentration would lie.

He concluded that should members of the committee resolve to refuse the application, that in terms of the wording, the recommendation should align with that of the previous application as follows:

1. The proposed change of use, if approved, would lead to an over-concentration of similar C2 uses within one cul-de-sac. This is likely to result in a significant adverse impact on the character of the area. The proposed change of use would therefore be contrary to Policy 39 of the Local Planning Document (2018).

The Chair proposed an adjournment, which was carried.

The meeting was adjourned at 7.00pm.

The meeting resumed at 7:03pm.

RESOLVED:

TO REFUSE PLANNING PERMISSION for the following reason:

1.     The proposed change of use, if approved, would lead to an over-concentration of similar C2 uses within one cul-de-sac. This is likely to result in a significant adverse impact on the character of the area. The proposed change of use would therefore be contrary to Policy 39 of the Local Planning Document (2018).
